Introduction: Ayurveda is one of the oldest medical systems comprising numerous medical concepts and hypotheses. Vatavyadhi is an important chapter described in all Samhitas. Vatavyadhi patients are increasing in day-to-day practice, so a clear understanding is necessary on its pathogenesis. Vatavyadhi occurs due to vitiation of Vatadosha. Vayu gets vitiated due to numerous factors staring from diet to various habits, used medicines, environmental changes, etc. Inside body Vayu gets vitiated and produces diseases either due to Dhatukshaya or Margavarodha. Materials and Methods: To analyze the Samprati (Pathogenesis) of Vatavyadhi from various Samhitas, contexts and the views of researchers are taken into consideration as method of the review. Discussion and Conclusion: Vatavyadhi is a group of special diseases which is produced due to aggravate Vata. Due to different etiological factors, Vata Prakopa occurs through Dhatukshaya and Margavarodha process which later produce Vatavyadhi. These pathological processes may be regarded as Vishista Samprati (Pathogenesis) of Vatavyadhi. During pathogenesis annoyed Vata may assemble with Pitta and Kapha, leading to modification of clinical features.

Introduction: Mandagni has been considered one of the primary indigenous factors for the manifestation of Amavata, so there might be the effect of the causative factors affecting the status of Agnibala of an individual. Hence an attempt can be made to observe the status of Agnibala and Koshta with particular reference to different inflammatory markers present in subjects of Aamvata. Material and Method: The main goal of the study was to evaluate the Agnibala and Koshtha of the Amavata Patients and to determine the relationship between Agni and Koshtha with the inflammatory parameters of Rheumatoid Arthritis as the characteristics of Amavata are similar to Rheumatoid Arthritis. The aims and Objectives of the study include the Assessment of Koshtha using a self-developed Standard Proforma for Koshtha Assessment (KAQ). Agnibala, using a standard proforma developed by Singh A et al., 2016. Amavata patients were encouraged to undertake Haematological examinations along with Investigations of Inflammatory markers of Rheumatoid arthritis and their reports were collected and analysed for additional statistical analysis. BHU's CCI lab and other standard laboratories were used for the research. The data were then statistically analysed. Results and Conclusion: According to the Agni Bala assessment from this study, it can be said that Mandagni is the main causative factor for the development of Amavata. A good correlation has been found between symptoms of Amavata and ACR criteria of Rheumatoid Arthritis from this study. A significant association was found between Madhyam Koshtha and Amavata as provocative factors. There is also a significant correlation found between Koshtha and Agni.

It is important to treat Shweta Pradar(leucorrhoea) as soon as possible because it might lead to major complications if not treated. For abnormal white vaginal discharges, theword "Shweta Pradar" has been described in Ayurvedaandit is extensively discussed in Ayurvedictexts. Due to kaphaand Vata Doshadhikya, this symptom appears. However, according to Charak Samhita, Kaphais the primary Doshathat causes leucorrhoea.

Dooshi visha is a unique concept mentioned in Ayurveda, which has the potential to accumulate in various bodily tissues depending on their affinity and harm the body, by causing chronic illness. Present day exposure to various harmful chemicals can be considered as dooshi visha as they get accumulated in bodily tissues leading to cumulative toxicity causing chronic illnesses, instead of causing death immediately. Chemicals acting over the female reproductive system at different doses of exposure, and concept of dooshi visha was studied thoroughly. Chemicals having their affinity towards female reproductive system was found to cause significant harmful effects like infertility when exposed above permissible limit for longer durations, hence it can be considered as dooshi vishas. Incidences of chemical exposure and female infertility is increasing proportionally. Present day female reproductive problems viewed in the perspective of dooshi visha and treating accordingly may subside the present days female reproductive problems. Hence, present paper focuses on impact of dooshi visha on female fertility.

Traditional Yoga practices have been mentioned since the era of Indus Valley Civilization, Vedic & Upanishad heritage, Buddhist and Jain traditions. Shiva is regarded as the first yogi in ancient Yoga tradition. The science of Yoga has been traced since long before the first religions or belief systems were born. At that time Yoga was practiced under the influence of nature under the guidance of the Gurus and its spiritual value was given special importance. In ancient times Yoga was known only for its spirituality to achieve highest level of consciousness. Today Yoga is not meant for spirituality only but it acquires the wider dimension by inculcating physical, mental and social aspect of health of healthy person. Newer evidence shows that Yogic Practices are gaining momentum for its therapeutic application for the management of health related issues of body and mind. Now-a-days Yoga education and its practices are being impacted by many eminent Yoga clinics, Yoga therapy and Wellness centers that have been established, medical institutes and therapeutic setups.

Diabetes mellitus is a syndrome-like systemic problem that has multi-organ complications. Early intervention may prevent several manifestations of different organs. Diabetes disrupts the healing process, immunity, and may result in renal complications, and retinopathies. Our increasing sedentary lifestyle, bad food habits and lifestyle choices like smoking and drinking are responsible for the progression of this dreaded disease. Various causes of diabetes may be pathological, hereditary, congenital, faulty lifestyle, pancreatic malfunction and the build-up of toxins in the body. Many treatment modalities are available for the management of this condition but none of these give promising results with long-term drug dependency. The drug used in the treatment may have unwanted side effects. Yoga acts like a panacea for diabetes. Yoga provides an ideal cure for diabetes management. Yoga therapy is perceivably quick in the earlier stages and extremely beneficial after continuous practice for hyperglycemia. Yoga improves the psychological makeup and general feeling of well-being. In the present case report, I have discussed a case of diabetes associated with hyperlipidemia with naturopathy, yoga, and diet modification.

It has been shown to balance stress hormones, activate the body’s relaxation response, and induce a profound sense of calmness. Moreover, Shirodhara has demonstrated positive outcomes in reducing anxiety levels, improving sleep quality, and lowering blood pressure. Conclusion: Shirodhara therapy offers a holistic and natural alternative for stress management, with promising results seen in various studies. Its potential integration into mainstream practices is promising. However, further research is needed to understand mechanisms, optimize protocols, and assess long-term efficacy.
